全球三分之一的烟民生活在中国。确定吸烟的预测因素对于制定预防计划很重要。为探讨理性行动理论和计划行为理论对青少年吸烟的预测作用，对中国7个城市的14 434名初中生(男生48.6%，女生51.4%)进行了调查。采用多水平中介模型对TRA和TPB进行检验，并通过多水平分析和似然比检验进行比较。在TPB中，感知行为控制是主效应，在TRA中是调节效应。吸烟意图的中介效应在两个模型中都得到支持(p<；0.001)。TPB解释的差异显著高于TRA(p<；0.001)。知觉行为控制感与青少年吸烟态度和社会规范之间存在显著交互作用(p<；0.001)，因此，青少年吸烟行为控制感与态度和社会规范之间存在显著的交互作用(p<；0.05)，因此，青少年吸烟行为控制感与态度和社会规范之间存在显著的交互作用(p<；)。TPB对吸烟的预测效果优于TRA，TRA能更好地预测行为控制感较低的学生是否吸烟。(C)2006爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
One third of smokers worldwide live in China. Identifying predictors of smoking is important for prevention program development. This study explored whether the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) predict adolescent smoking in China.Data were obtained from 14,434 middle and high school students (48.6% boys, 51.4% girls) in seven geographically varied cities in China. TRA and TPB were tested by multilevel mediation modeling, and compared by multilevel analyses and likelihood ratio tests. Perceived behavioral control was tested as a main effect in TPB and a moderation effect in TRA.The mediation effects of smoking intention were supported in both models (p < 0.001). TPB accounted for significantly more variance than TRA (p < 0.001). Perceived behavioral control significantly interacted with attitudes and social norms in TRA (p < 0.001).Therefore, TRA and TPB are applicable to China to predict adolescent smoking. TPB is superior to TRA for the prediction and TRA can better predict smoking among students with lower than higher perceived behavioral control. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
